Never thought to tighten them........try that tomorrow.
The bed isn't rusted but the bolts look like they melted.......not torch or anything like that. They were packed with sand, got the bed from just below Dallas and it came from Mexico.
I will try using a metric 12 point, Craftsman of course, and tighten them.
thanks,
Steve
